Design and Practice of"Food Safety"Course Exploration Project in Blended Learning Context
Integrate inquiry projects into blended learning mode for teaching practice,and observe the effectiveness of teaching reform and its impact on the self-efficacy of college students in learning.The experimental group(n=33)and the control group(n=28)are both junior undergraduate students majoring in food hygiene and nutrition,with the compulsory course"Food Safety"as the teaching content.The experimental group adopts project-based teaching+blended teaching mode,while the control group adopts project-based teaching+traditional teaching mode.A comparative analysis is conducted on the achievement of course objectives and learning self-efficacy of the two groups of students.The results show that the overall achievement rate of the experimental group's course objectives is 89.3%,while the control group achieves 83.5%.Diversification,openness,and timeliness of learning content,and the richness of learning materials and group collaborative learning are the main factors that promote the self-efficacy of college students in learning through exploration projects under the blended learning model.The redesigned exploration project in the blended learning mode can stimulate the self-efficacy of college students,promote their attitudes and behaviors towards self-directed learning,and thus improve the achievement of course objectives.
